Bunraker Skewers Reality TV
Posted on 29 August 2008

Dogg the Bounty Hunter is one of several reality TV stars given the puppet spoof treatment in Bunraker.

Bunraker is a new puppet comedy concept built around a Puppet-host named Fez Holden who introduces faux reality show clips featuring puppet “stars” like Jo “Supernanny” Frost, Chris Angel and Dogg the Bounty Hunter. It’s being envisioned as something that could be used for cable and network TV interstitials, web content and event theatrical shorts or a half-hour TV series.

So far three episodes have been posted online and I think they’re really funny and well done. They were directed by Rob Saunders; the puppeteer cast includes B.J. Guyer, Greg Manion and Christine Papalexis.
